Some of our abc has been alinged to lyrics rather than to the end of
bars. Here is an example:
X:1
T:Admiral Benbow
M:4/4
L:1/8
K:G
D2 |G2 G2 A2 F2 |G4 B2 c2 |d4 c2 B2 |
w:Come all you sea-men bold and draw near, and draw
(A2c2B2) A2 |G2 G2 A2 F2 |(G2D2) E2 E2 |D6
w:near_* Come all you sea-men bold_ and draw near;
c2 | B2 A2 B2 c2 |d4 c2 B2 |A2 G2 F2 E2 |D4
w:It's of an ad-miral's fame, O brave Ben-bow was his name,
D2 D2 |G2 G2 G2 E2 |C4 B,2 C2 |D4 E2 F2 |G4 |]
w:How he fought all on the main you shall hear, you shall hear
A couple of our contributers prefer lyrics aligned this way and it has
been
pointed out that the practice of presenting songs in this way has
existed for at least 50 years.
Now for the problem: It has been questioned whether abc presented in
this manner conforms to the abc draft standard and it has been pointed
out that iabc puts a bar line at the end of each staff regardless of
whether one is present at the end of the abc line (other probgrams like
abcm2ps and skink leave the line open). I've tried reading through the
draft and I can't see that we are doing anything wrong and my feeling is
that iabc is a little unuasual in its handling of this issue but I
thought I'd ask here in case we are doing something contary to the abc
standard.
